Gas prices due to drop in 2024, as EVs plug into cleaner energy

Baua Electric

The cost of gasoline and the carbon footprint of EVs could both fall in the new year. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects combined electricity generation from solar and wind to exceed coal for the first time in 2024. It’s part of a broader shift toward wind and solar that’s been underway for some time.

Renewable Energy & EV Charging – Perfect Synergy

Driivz

Renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, is a more environmentally friendly and cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Furthermore, widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also improving air quality. Why is Smart EV Charging Important?

U-M study: When, where, how electric delivery vehicles are charged has big impact on GHGs

Green Car Congress

In 2019, Amazon announced plans to obtain 100,000 electric delivery vehicles. UPS has ordered 10,000 of them and FedEx plans to be fully electric by 2040. The U-M researchers found that 50% to 80% of the lifetime emissions associated with an electric delivery vehicle’s battery occur during charging.

EIA projects decline in transportation sector energy consumption through 2037 despite increase in VMT, followed by increase

Green Car Congress

EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2019 projects continued robust growth in US energy production, emergence of the United States as an energy exporter, and a cleaner S electric power generation mix. This growth arises from increases in air transportation outpacing increases in aircraft fuel efficiency. Other findings.

California ARB: GHG emissions fell below 1990 levels for first time in 2016; down 13% from 2004 peak; transportation emissions up 2%

Green Car Congress

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.
